Summer never ends

Balcony Study 1

Today I picked up Marjorie Stoneman Douglas’ book River of Grass which is a beautiful book about the amazing place I live called the Everglades. Sometimes I forget what season it is, because for me it’s almost always summer.

So here is a painting from the real summer (at least for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere). I lost track of time and never got around to posting it. In a busy spring, summer, and fall, this is all I have to share as far as material work, but much has been added to the stores from which to draw inspiration.

And after a non-productive run of several months I am happy to have the time and space now to paint. I’m currently working on a large painting on an old window from Sunset Island base camp, so I will post that as soon as I am finished.

Patience of Trees

I don’t know what it is about the trees…
They always have something to say to me.
I hope they have something to say to you too.

Everglades by night

Night Paddle

The first hour after the sun goes down is magical. It’s my favorite time to be on the water. The air is calm, the water is smooth. I’m usually observing my students’ navigational skills and making bets with my co-instructor about how late we’ll get to base camp. And while I’m looking forward to a shower and sleeping in my own bed again, I wouldn’t trade these moments for anything. I want to always believe in magic.
